One weekend a while ago I was working on a riverboat with a good friend and excellent entertainer, Sheba Cassini. We've known each other for about 15 years but especially since I moved away from London, we only now cross paths occasionally.
I knew we'd meet because I had recommended her to my client and we were both booked as key entertainers for this special family occasion.
Anyway, to the point. Out of the blue Sheba tells me that she is thinking of writing a book. Being a superb illustrator and caricature artiste, she will also illustrate the book. It will probably be a collaboration with Simon, her partner in crime and also brilliant Caricature artist (who I have also know for over 15 years). Naturally I was interested in the subject of the book, and Sheba tells me that it will be a collection of stories gathered from fellow artistes about great things that have happened on or after events where they have been working!
Wow..... synchronicity? Don't know. This project has been on the cards for over 2 years now but held up due to a variety of happenings (including moving house and office and, more recently, losing all my files and well, everything, when I had a hard drive crash. In fact, my backup drive also went at the same time!
This is the first time I've been able to log in here since January when that happened. My collection of stories has been lost along with my database and I have just managed to get back to start the long rebuild process. This post is the first with regard to 'Real Magic Moments', spurred on by the chance conversation with Sheba.
So .... more posts very soon......
